Cheap Dino Books

The are many excellent sources for obtaining books to build up ones personal library on paleontology. Your local independently-owned and run bookstore will be more then happy to help you track down titles that they do not have in stock.

Another excellent source on the web is EdwardRHamilton.com who specializes in selling overstock and remaindered books at very low prices. At any given time they have 1000’s of books available in over 100 different categories including Paleontology & Evolution. Books on Dinosaurs can also be found under the heading of Animals.

Titles currently available include:

THE DRAGON SEEKERS: How an Extraordinary Circle of Fossilists Discovered the Dinosaurs and Paved the Way for Darwin by Christopher McGowan,

DINOSAUR TRACKS AND OTHER FOSSIL FOOTPRINTS OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES by M. Lockley & A.P. Hunt, and,

EXTINCTION AND PHYLOGENY edited By M.J. Novacek & Q.D. Wheeler.

Note that EdwardRhamilton.com will only ship within the USA.

FYI, “Steve Bissette’s History of Dino-Comics, Part 8” will be up later today -- I’m busy with work right now.
